Blast Resistant Doors
Architectural Armour manufacture bespoke blast doors to meet your specific needs, whether to protect against industrial explosions, grenade, IED or VBIED,S we can design a suitable blast / bomb resistant door-set for most applications.
Blast protection is perhaps one of today’s biggest challenges. Whether you are looking for blast doors, blast windows or any other building element that requires blast protection, Architectural Armour Ltd will have the solution at hand.
A Petro chemical blast may be regarded as different to that of a terrorist blast attack but fundamentally, blast doors and blast windows will have to perform the same task – protecting people and places.
Blast effects will vary with regard to circumstance but no matter whether the requirement for your blast doors or blast windows is calculated in EXV, Kilopascals, PSI, N/m², kN/m², 100lbs at 30 feet, pipe bombs, fragmentation, IED’s, vehicle or hand delivered charges, our fully trained Technical Department will have the answer and also the product.
In house blast modeling, testing and calculations under pin our steel blast and timber composite blast doorsets. From functional powder coated steel finish blast doors to prestigious veneered blast doors, they all need to protect people and places.
Keeping the threat as far away as possible is always the first consideration when assessing a threat from blast, although increasing the stand off is not always an option. From domestic Safe rooms to commercial manufacturing and processing plants we have the answer. Blast doors and blast windows are not the only products and services we provide, we can compliment that level of protection with ballistic resistance and also that of physical attack.
In addition to attack from conventional weapons, ballistic resistance is also needed for protection against blast fragmentation. Generally, blast fragmentation is considered to be traveling around 3 times faster than a rifle bullet. Combined with a blast wave traveling at 7-8000 metres per second then providing blast protection is an onerous task.
